"How can I get rid of // or \\ hyperlinks being automatically generat-
ed?"

Here's how:

The bane of a.a-a overcome!  Someone ought to include this in their
FAQ, or something.

`\__/   http://home.t-online.de/home/ulrich.schreglmann/00L.htm  \-_/'

Other hyperlinks such as

mailto:x
file://x
http://x
etc. are not affected. Just the //one and if the second program is run, then the \\one as well.

So thats not really useful, just removes the blue and the underline.

And when, pray, do those appear within an ascii picture without mean-
ing what they appear to be: hyperlinks?

And the unwanted "file:"-string.  But, hey, look at my sig and suit
yourself!

*Grumble!*
